About this product
This is a RIDGID AIR COMPRESSOR PART check valve, identified by MPN 17728 and also cross-referenced with 17893. It features a 1/2" COMP (compression) inlet and a 3/8" MPT (Male Pipe Thread) outlet, designed for the OF45150 model. As a check valve, its function is to prevent air from flowing back from the tank into the compressor pump, crucial for maintaining pressure and efficient operation of the air compressor.
Our take
If you own a RIDGID OF45150 air compressor, this 17728 check valve appears to be the correct replacement part you're looking for. The specific sizing – 1/2" compression inlet and 3/8" MPT outlet – is vital for a direct fit, so always confirm those measurements. A check valve is an often-overlooked but essential component, preventing air from bleeding back and causing your compressor to overwork. Replacing a faulty one can significantly improve your compressor's efficiency and lifespan. Its dual MPN listing (17728, 17893) suggests good compatibility and interchangeability within the specified model.
